Asked whether Romeo has a sad exit storyline ahead, Weaving replied: "I don't necessarily think that. It's intriguing to see how they work it into the story, but I don't necessarily think it means it's the end for Romeo and Indi.

"I don't think people should jump to that conclusion."

On the possibility of Indi getting a new boyfriend afterwards, the actress continued: "I think that Indi and Romeo are the love of their lives. I think the audience would kind of be annoyed if they saw her with anyone else. I don't think Indi has eyes for anyone else, either.

She said: "I think it's all going to be okay in the end. Obviously it'll be a bit of a struggle and a bit imposing on the Walkers' lifestyle, but they're such a lovely family that they'll all work through it with him.

"I think [2013 will] be really good and hopefully less dramatic!"
